    Quality of the contest belies the relative ladder position of both sides.

    Do I not know what belies mean? This looks exactly what 16 v 19 should look like

    Certainly do and am enjoying the game. A tight competitive contest with most blokes giving it a real go.

    Interesting to see that Fraser Rosman is currently lining up for Port Melbourne.

    Schache - good, but could easily be better, not screaming afl 

    Fullarton - Schache with more speed but less skill

    Jeffo - stats aren’t there but looked faster and more willing, not his worst game. No coordination going forward 

    KFW - probably the worst, but geez he barely plays. Such a waste of time him turning up 

    Willy V - slowed a bit in q2 and did a few too many ruckman things, doesn’t kick as well as he thinks.

    Laurie - cracking in hard but he can’t break in to space and the missed tackles are killers

    Hunter - a mile off

    Tomlinson - lifted but still meh

    Turner - reading it beautifully  and getting hands on it, rusty but promising 

    Adams - gets spun around too easily, gets caught flat footed with the ball and bangs it to no one.

    AMW - willing tackler, competes well, decision making/ball use shaky 

    Sesto - good when he finds the ball, just doesn’t find enough

    Kynan Brown - willing, able

    Jeffo really needs to get more involved.  I may have missed a few but barely sighted for mine

    I know he's had a shoulder issue but Ollie's run past the ball quite a bit today and / or just sits back ball watching.

    Laurie showing plenty.     
    Fullarton has promise for the near future.      
    Verrall definitely in time.     
    Turner not bad for a first up run.   
    Tomlinson looks disinterested and confidence shot. Understandable on both counts.  
    Grave doubts about Jefferson.    
    Put a line through Sestan.    
    Are they having a laugh by playing KFW?

    Why does this commentator scream in to the mic at every shot at goal? Someone fix him. Please. It’s been going on for years

    Moniz is a forward every day of the week.  Madness trying to make him into something he isn't imv.

    Will he learn some defensive aspects...maybe.  But in the course of doing so he might also lose some of his crumbing/ offensive flair, skill and intuition.

    He is the worst... and often louder for anyone non-Casey

    You don’t lose skills in a few weeks and we have no small defensive depth, but the moment we have any defenders back he needs to go forward again.

    I get that but its not like he's going to be the difference down back.  He might up forward and in the mean time has no chance to score and possibly stick his hand up for a berth at senior level either.

    What a waste.

    Hunter can play his role from here surely

    Also very little pressure when the ball hits the deck inside 50.  You just had Turner come all the way from HB after being involved in the first part of the chain there.... then having to put a 3rd effort in to try and pressure loose Port players inside 50.

    Ridiculous

    Verrall’s mastered the Gawn move (hit it straight to the opposition mids)

    Hasn't looked out of place either, taken some marks up the wing and used his body well.

    Getting beaten purely by the Port’s strong bodies ability to get hands out whilst being tackled. And umpires giving them a ridiculous amount of leeway to do so

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
